2.20.13 Make happiness…

God love this child.  After I tucked her in the other night…she looked around her messy room and begged, “Will you pleeeeeeaaaaassssse leave the tooth fairy a note…telling her that I am in the middle of cleaning my room?  I don’t want her to think that I leave it like this!” I replied, “Don’t you […]

2.16.13 it’s only a weekend.

this afternoon…my oldest son left for church camp.  we have had such a busy week…preparing for 14 gillion valentine’s parties this week that it sorta snuck up on me. around noon…i read over the list of things he needed to pack.  soooooo….maybe i’m a procrastinator.  it wasn’t until then that i realized i was nervous […]

you know you know you’re not firing on all cylinders when you wash your face with men’s shampoo/body wash while explaining to the two superheros…who have taken up residence in your shower…why you are not using acceptable face soap. “i’m only doing this because i ran out of my face soap and i keep forgetting […]

1.25.13 sand clouds

today…my thirsty soul was quenched with a visit from an old friend.  this is a friend that i saw on a regular basis until this school year.  we talked on the phone once a day, AT LEAST.  we saw each other most every day.  our kids saw each other every day.  and we normally hung […]

1.24.13 this is me. today, anyway.

i’d like to blather on about patience and how it pays off…but in reality…i hardly think that waiting 5 days for another new car qualifies as patience.   chad found a better deal.     and this lovely thing is parked snug in our driveway.  i love it.  and i’m grateful.   and today…i added […]
